Premier League preview part 1: The title challengers

The Premier League is back and so is Totally!

Jimbo is joined by Duncan Alexander, Tom Williams and Liam Twomey to ponder the title contenders for the 2026-27 season.

Can Arsenal do what they haven't done since 1935 and retain the title? And will they be easier on the eye?

With new managers at Chelsea, Man City and Liverpool, which one of them is best equipped to compete with the Gunners? Are Man Utd back? Could Villa rock the boat?

Plus the panel's predictions for the Premier League Top 4.

Produced by Charlie Jones, Jesse Howard, Lucy Oliva and Jake Liascos
